Over the last two years, UBC Wiki has transformed UBC Libraryâs approach to content management. Working in conjunction with multiple WordPress websites as delivery tools, UBC Library staff are able to use the wiki as an open space to collaborate and build online content that is automatically republished across multiple UBC Library and University websites. This process challenges previously locked-down content management systems, and empowers staff to edit and share content to benefit the...

Adapted from Dan Chudnov @ code4lib 2011: A chance for you to ask a roomful of savvy library technologists anything thatâs on your mind: questions seeking answers (short or long), requests for things (hardware, software, skills, or help), or offers of things. Weâll keep the pace fast, and the answers faster. Come with questions and line up at the start of the session and weâll go through as many as we can; sometimes weâll stop at finding the right person or people to answer a query and...

Amy Buckland facilitates this panel discussion about failing: projects that went nowhere, sideways, or just combusted and what was learned from the experience. These panelists, experts on the topic, will convince us that failing can be fun and worthwhile.

The Canadiana Discovery Portal was launched in the spring of 2010. By the end of its first year, it had indexed the metadata for about a million digital objects from a variety of libraries, museums, archives and galleries. Its goal is to be a centralized metadata repository for all of Canadaâs digital content, accepting metadata from anyone who wants to contribute it, and exposing that metadata both interactively and through a Web service API. Weâll look more closely at the metadata ingest...

Matt Carlson from KCLS and Grace Dunbar from Equinox Software will guide attendees through the seedy underbelly of the open source software development process. They will deconstruct the process of creating and following through with an outsourced development project from both the client and vendor points of view. This session will cover the basics of identifying development needs, creating a scope of work, implementation, training, and, most importantly, keeping your eyes on the prize. The...

In the last twenty years collecting institutions have heeded the calls of Indigenous activists to integrate Indigenous curatorial models and knowledge systems into mainstream museum and archive practices. Web 2.0 technologies grounded in user-generated content and bottom-up exhibition and display modes have aided in producing a dynamic platform for sharing materials. This newly animated digital terrain, however, poses both possibilities and problems for Indigenous peoples as they seek to...

Four panelists will describe digital preservation programs at their libraries, with a focus on practical activities. Even though all panelists are from academic libraries that produce similar kinds of content, the panel will showcase a diverse set of approaches to the problems of digital preservation, curation, and long-term access.

Growing a Free Software community, lessons learnt from the Koha community. It is widely acknowledged that one of the most important parts of a Free software project is the community. But how does that community evolve? What dangers does it face? How do you deal with the multicultural and multilingual realities of a worldwide community? Koha is a 11 year old project to build a free software ILS. As the project has grown in popularity it has had to overcome several challenges. This presentation...

Libraries and consortia have a long history of managing millions of resources by their very nature. However, administering and maintaining such vast quantities of data has generally remained a task that was only achievable by large software vendors and research cooperatives that could afford the systems to do so. At the same time, technology has advanced exponentially in the past few decades while the nature and complexity of library metadata has remained relatively unchanged. Open Source...

Every day, each of us is adding to our own immense data inventory. Mobile phone records, social network conversations, purchase histories â all of these things are being stored, often without our knowledge or express permission. In this presentation, Jer will discuss how these data histories can be accessed, visualized and explored. Heâll show a variety of projects, including work from The New York Times R&D Group, the 9/11 Memorial in Manhattan, and Popular Science. Heâll walk through...
